Enzyme-catalyzed proximity labeling (PL) has proven to be a valuable resource for proteomic mapping of subcellular compartments and protein networks in living cells. We have used engineered ascorbate peroxidase (APEX2) to develop a PL approach for budding yeast. It is based on semipermeabilized cells to overcome poor cellular permeability of the APEX2 substrate biotin-phenol and difficulties in its delivery into the cell. The use of semipermeabilized cells has several advantages, in particular the avoidance of generating fragile spheroplasts and the opportunity of employing cells from a glucose-containing medium for APEX2 tagging. In this protocol we describe how to perform a ratiometric three-state stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) approach that allows to map an open cellular compartment like the yeast nucleus. In particular, we focus on the proteomic sample preparation and provide instructions to achieve high-resolution mapping of a subcellular yeast proteome.

Numerous biological processes involve proteins capable of transiently assembling into subcellular compartments necessary for cellular functions. One process is the RNA polymerase II transcription cycle which involves initiation, elongation, co-transcriptional modification of nascent RNA, and termination. The essential yeast transcription termination factor Nab3 is required for termination of small non-coding RNAs and accumulates into a compact nuclear granule upon glucose removal.

Background: Soluble cello-oligosaccharides (COS, β-1,4-D-gluco-oligosaccharides with degree of polymerization DP 2-6) have been receiving increased attention in different industrial sectors, from food and feed to cosmetics. Development of large-scale COS applications requires cost-effective technologies for their production. Cascade biocatalysis by the three enzymes sucrose-, cellobiose- and cellodextrin phosphorylase is promising because it enables bottom-up synthesis of COS from expedient substrates such as sucrose and glucose.

The majority of lncRNAs and a small fraction of mRNAs localize in the cell nucleus to exert their functions. A SIRLOIN RNA motif was previously reported to drive its nuclear localization by the RNA-binding protein hnRNPK. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Stress granules (SGs) are membrane-less organelles that form in the cytoplasm through phase separation, in response to diverse stressors. SGs contain translationally stalled mRNAs, proteins involved in translation, and various RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Due to the high local concentration of aggregation-prone RBPs, SGs might act as condensation sites for aberrant phase transitions of RBPs and could favor formation of solid protein aggregates underlying the pathological cytoplasmic inclusions found in numerous neurodegenerative diseases.
